Stay in Point Zero. Watch your emotional reactions.

Since
many thousands of years’ people have known that exercise improves well- being
of human beings. It is the oldest type of medicine. In 2017 Clinical Exercise
Physiology is teaching you how to exercise correctly to prevent health issues
down the time track by preventing a worse – case - scenarios. It is almost
accepted as normal to the ageing
process to develop immobility. Comorbidities are nearly accepted by families.
WE can prevent so many more old age diseases. How? Know your health, ask. Learn
what to do and what not to do. Assessments in person and guidance via an
electronic home program that you can access on your phone or home computer
could set the tune for your winter fitness this season.

For example, continuous exercise at
60% of your maximal exercise output keeps your immune-system at a healthy
balance. Walsh et al (2011). If you immune-system is functioning properly, you
ward of the winter bugs with no problem. If you feel run down and your defences
are low, you are prone to infectious diseases. So, if you choose wisely you can
keep your immune-system strong at all times.

If you choose to actively
strengthening your immunity this winter, try a daily brisk walk of 30 min, a
fortnightly sauna (at the AC baths, perhaps), deep breathing and some stretching
relative to your health status.

It has been known that exercise facilitates the detoxification process of
the body via activation of the lymphatic system. So when you move, muscles are
moving the lymph along to excrete your excess toxins mostly via perspiration,
breath and urination more readily. Exercise facilitates
your immune-system to prevent some cancers. Walsh et al (2011).

Also, if you have concerning twinges like niggling
back pain or neck pain please let me help you sort them out before going out
there to avoid exaggerated drama. Listen to your body and heart. Train at your prescriptive
target heart rate, at the correct intensity to get the best out of your workout.
Detect any irregularities and act accordingly. Best of health and mobility to
you all

TIA or Trans-
ischemic Attack is when there is a sign of cramping in the arm, strong headache,
and feeling off, perhaps not thinking and not walking straight. That is when an
artery is partially blocked in the brain. Stroke is the complete blockage of an
artery in the brain.

It is important that
you get to the hospital to inject an enzyme that assists in resolving the
blocking clot. In the first 3 hours post incident and administering this TPase
(the enzyme) you have great success of recovering completely. If you brain is
bleeding however, the prognosis is not as good. So read on and see what you can
do now to avoid this scenario altogether.

Most clients who suffered stroke
report that they were living a stressful, unhealthy lifestyle.

That consisted of a busy schedule,
alcohol, sugary and fatty foods and the attitude: “that would not happen to me”.
Every person is an individual and symptoms and lifestyle will vary;

So, please listen to your body to
avoid harmful and regretful events.

Recent research by Dr. Ahmed Tawakol
et al published in February 2017, in the Lancet Journal, confirmed that
emotional stress is leading to increased stress hormone production causing arterial
inflammation and stiffness.

The
Amygdala in the brain is signalling to produce more hormones once the being
is threatened by stress and goes into survival mode. As the brain is
working faster in threating situations (such as meeting deadlines) it produces
extra hormones (cortisol and epinephrine) to speed up the (survival) productivity.
Heart rate, blood pressure, white blood cell and cholesterol production increases
and you are ready for the perfect storm to happen. Now add anger, extra fatty
and sugary foods and the bloodstream is thick with hormones and plaque to form
clots.

“In that we understand that people who are
working in chronic, stressful situations, are more likely to develop arterial
stiffness and thus heart disease compared to the relaxed counterpart”

In this research, scientists gave 293 patients brain and body scans to
record their brain, bone marrow and spleen activity and inflammation of their
arteries. The patients were then tracked for an average of 3.7 years to see if
they developed heart disease. In this
time 22 patients had cardiovascular events - including heart attack,
angina, heart failure, stroke and peripheral arterial disease.

Rist
et al (2017) affirmed in their study that people who are fitter recover much
better from stroke compared to those who chose a relatively inactive lifestyle. If you become active now, you would have
saved money and time on hospital costs, discomfort and the annoyance in having
to ask for help, by keeping your fitness levels up.

In
simple terms: Your
lifestyle is contributing to the likelihood to experience stroke and heart
disease. So what can we do to prevent such stresses?

People who are potentially at risk of
developing chronic conditions such as Diabetes and heart disease inclusive
stroke, do benefit from deep, regular rest and the correct exercise
prescriptions.

Call Uta to arrange an assessment to
safeguard your healthy life. She will check your cholesterol, glucose, check
your blood pressure, heart rate, heart rhythm with an ECG, perhaps conducts a
lung capacity test, and checks your fitness, your mental health, motivates and
guides you on the healthy path to live longer happier. Once you have your electronic
exercise program on your phone or desktop, you may choose to join a group or
perhaps train by yourself. It is your life, your health, please care for it.

Turangi
has no hospital but you can become active with your personal safety guidelines to
avoid hospitals.
